Pushing DS (3yrs) round the supermarket in the trolley and we're chatting away, like we do when DS says "Mummy, we don't say for God's sake, it's naughty" and I say "yes that's right. It's naughty" then he says "and we don't say bloody hell either" and I said "right again!" then he goes "and we really never say fuck"

Had to turn away and bite the insides of my cheeks to stop myself from roaring with laughter. I don't think that I should find this type of thing funny

i would've larfed in an inappropriate manner and convinced myself that the dcs owuld only ever hear that word from their father. honestly

Fantastic!

Tidey · 19/05/2010 16:37

Well done for not laughing, I would've probably snorted very loudly

meatntattypie · 19/05/2010 16:39

ds came home from school and whispered in a consiratory manner "Sam at school said the "F" word today mum"

"OH" says i

"yes, you know how we say Trump, well he says "F"

"AHHHH THAT "F" word (fart) thats ok then!

Worst thing was DS tried to blame hearing the f word on my friend's child and she really is the most strait-laced/not exposed to swearing child ever...

YANBU, how did you not manage to laugh?!

MrsFawlty · 19/05/2010 19:21

YANBU!

I don't know how I managed not to laugh, to be honest. I think it's a bit wrong that I found it cute to hear the f word said in his cute little voice.

What's wrong with saying fuck?
You are uptight in your house

cupcakesandbunting · 19/05/2010 20:40

If fuck was confined to our house I would have noooo problems with DS asking where his fucking dinner is and where the fuck his toys are. But the grandparents are very amish about this type of thing. Weirdos.

Joke, of course

LordVolAuVent · 19/05/2010 20:56

The amish ruin everything I find. Tell your DS to call them c*nts and be done with it...

cupcakesandbunting · 19/05/2010 21:01

The c-word. The great divider. Easy, though. Anyone upset by the word generally is one

meatntattypie when dd1 was in yr2 she came home from school and was shocked that her friend had said the 'C'word. As we talked some more I got the gist of the converstation from her and asked her to spell the C word... C.R.A.P!

LordVolAuVent · 19/05/2010 21:04

Couldn't agree more cupcakes... Is one of my favourite words, naturally.

BelleDameSansMerci · 19/05/2010 21:04

My DD (2.8) told me not to say "Oh poo" as it's naughty. I thought I'd done really well to limit myself to this sort of swearing but apparently not.

Before DD, my favourite exclamation would have been "fuck, shit, wanky bollocks" so "oh poo" seemed quite mild in comparison.

Poledra · 19/05/2010 21:05

6-yo DD1 declared today that her sister's T-shirt was yucky (true, filthy little 22-mo that she is) but then went on playing with words 'Yucky, mucky, tucky, fucky!'

I did laugh and we both had a giggle as I explained that actually it was really quite a bad word and could she not say it again, thank you!

Mamalade · 19/05/2010 22:02

Brilliant!
I am totally shamed.The other day DD1 said
"Mum, this morning DS2 said a bad word."

"what did he say love?"

"silly bitch!"

To which DS2 looks up to me wide-eyed and exclaims:
"No it's fine Mum,there was just a pretend woman in front of me driving really slow!"

mumbar · 19/05/2010 22:11

conversation this weekend between my ds (5) and friends dd (6). (they were in ds bedroom)

FDD: Oh shut up DS
DS: you mustn't say shut up its naughty
FDD: shut ups ok, fuck is a really naughty word.
DS: no it's not fuck is a 'square' word.

Needless to say by the time my friend and I had composed ourselves/ wiped away tears!! it was way past the time to discuss it

Macforme · 19/05/2010 22:16

A few years ago when Eminem was popular I was in my friend's car and she had his CD on. To my surprise my DS1 (then 8) knew the words and I must have looked a bit shocked, because he leaned forward and said
'It's ok Mummy, I only EVER say 'motherfucker' when I'm singing this...'

He's now 17 and we still laugh about it now!

kolacubes · 19/05/2010 22:17

On way to grandparents one day, I got carved up, hooted horn, slammed breaks shouted 'Idiot'.

How glad was I when we arrived at grandparents and dd walked in and announced 'A car went right in front of us, mummy stopped quickly and called them an idiot.'

My parents praised me for still keeping my mouth clean

mumbar · 19/05/2010 22:20

lol kola I've done that so much if i ever slam brakes on now DS says ' did that idiot cut you up mummy!@.

Thank goodness for slf control!!

Will never forget baking with DD(3)one morning. Her standing on stool, little pinny on, mixing cake mix with giant wooden spoon - looking very cute, with dreamy look in her eyes, the picture of innocence. All of a sudden she slams down the wooden spoon shouts "For fuck's sake!". Then without blinking an eye, quietly picks up spoon and carries on stirring serenely while I'm wetting myself in the next room! I never did like baking that much but had no idea I had made it so apparent!

PrettyVacant1 · 20/05/2010 20:51

Christmas shopping with my friends 3 yr old, she was skipping through Woolies holding my hand.
Santa Claus is coming to town was playing and I sang the "you better be good for for goodness sake"
She stopped dead, dropped my hand and said "Aaaaarrrrr... You can't say that!" "It's bad!!"
I asked what? For goodness sake?
She then spent the whole afternoon saying if over and over then looking at my reaction?!

Got home and Mummy was promptly informed that Auntie PV said "for goodness sake" and more Aaaaaarrrrs for effect.
Her older brother piped up from the corner "She said for goodness sake not for fucks sake!"

My dd thinks the word stupid is the worst you can call anybody. She came home from school and said X said the S word to our teacher. I imagined she'd said shit and asked for confirmation, dd looked horrified and said no it was much worse than that, she called someone stupid.
